1. The tight-aggressive strategy is highly effective in low buy-in events, but adjustments should be made based on opponents.
2. Pay attention to ICM (Independent Chip Model) applications in tournaments to avoid unnecessary risks.
3. Emotional control is key to long-term profitability; Spivack's "Zen-like playing style" is worth emulating.
